No seed AG's

I figger I had better chime in on this one too, as I have read a couple of environmental reasons why AG's arent throwing seeds, but havent seen any genetic reasoning.
 
I will come back to my hybrid vigor theory once again.  Lets look at the def. of hybrid vigor again-  in the case of AG's its huge fruit size, excellent plant vigor, and little or no viable seed production.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, what pumpkin best fits that desricption?  Must be the 1190!!  Coincidence?  I surly do not believe so.  
 
I believe that lack of viable seeds is indeed a combination of environmental and genetic factors.  In some instances the environmental factors play a larger part, other times the genetic factors.  I checked out the background of the LaRue 1010 and it looks like environmental facotrs may have played a larger part, but in the case of the 1190, I beleive it is largely genetic.
